To be honest, I don't actually know how much at this point, ... I don't, really. In a way, I think that's right. It's not something that affects the way I think about things.
I really wanted to be good at it.
In a way, ... growing up like this with Harry makes it easier to act in each of the films, because I've been through all the stuff that he's going through, like the hormones, relatively recently. So it's quite fresh in my mind. And then I suppose it's been made easier by the fact I've been playing Harry Potter since I was 12. You get to know the character so well that it makes it easier to act in the long run.
In England, there's so much history that you feel a part of history even when you're really not,
I had a big crush on her when I first met her, definitely.
He suffers from the same frailties and hormonal-related problems as all sorts of people his age, but he's also going through this massive thing of almost paranoia, where someone's trying to get at him, trying to destroy his life, but he doesn't know who. Some invisible force is trying to tamper with his life in some way.
I'm definitely doing the fifth, but after that who knows? I'm not absolutely confident that I'm doing them all.
I love it. Until recently, I'd seen a peek of it in the catalogue but not actually seen the real thing. It was strange seeing myself as I was two years ago, not as I am now. If you look at each individual part of my face they look exactly like part of my face. Together it's surreal.
As you grow up, you realize from the age of 14 or so, you grow extra emotions somehow, and I think Harry is at the point where he's at the mercy of all these emotions,
The fourth one was incredibly, much more so, much more physical than the first ones. It's I think simply the nature of the book that its got those 3 massive tasks in it.
This has given me a feeling of confidence, ... which I might not have had otherwise.
I just want to keep working, really. I just want to keep acting. Playing one part for a very long time builds up in you a desire to play as many different things as you can.
I definitely want to go on acting for as long as I can find employment. I'm never happier than when I'm on a film set. I just want to keep working.
The real challenge of acting for me, I suppose, is just getting to know a character very, very well and just applying what I know about them to every single scene. That's what it can be broken down to.
